Normally, parties responsible for medical malpractice injuries are treating physicians, hospitals, and hospital personnel. These defendants are represented by large law firms retained by the defendant insurance companies that literally wage a war of attrition against plaintiffs using every possible avenue to minimize the amount of compensation plaintiffs would receive. As premier New York City medical malpractice attorneys, we have all the resources to secure the maximum compensation in a medical malpractice case.
If we accept your medical malpractice case, we will not settle for anything less than the optimal result. If needed, our trial lawyers will take your case to trial.
If we accept your personal injury case, it will be on the contingency basis meaning that you will not pay us unless and until we recover money for you.
New York’s Statute of Limitations on Medical Malpractice
In New York, medical malpractice law suits must be generally brought within 2 ½ years from the date malpractice occurred. This time period is significantly shorter when a defendant party involved is a municipality. This happens when medical malpractice incidents take place in municipal clinics or hospitals. In that case, patients only have 90 days to file their claims.
